Chapter 4

Of Books and Reputations
"Hey, you busy today?" Amber walks beside Jinri and Sunyoung after they had lunch
 
Soojung and Song Qian have been busy these days. Though she wishes Soojung isn't working on the article about Henry and her.
 
"Oh, you need assistance today eonni?" Jinri eagerly smiles
"No... Not really. I just miss you guys."
"We're sorry but we have our project. But we'll make it up to you next week. All five of us will have lunch together again" Sunyoung apologizes, Amber totally understands since grades are at stake here.
 
"It's cool. No need to apologize."
 
The school bell rang and they parted ways
 
Looks like I'll be alone again
 
She sits there listening to the teacher,  as always. Sitting in front of her was Key, scribbling on his notebook which Amber doubts, is unrelated to whatever the teacher was saying.
 
"Hey, Key..." she taps his shoulder
"Shhhh... people are watching." He whispers
Oh yeah.... He "doesn't know me" in public
 
The guy was secretly friends with her. His fashionista friends can't possibly find out the Bumster was friends with the bully.
 
"I just wanted to remind you about the pro--"
 
She was stopped by a nudge on her foot
 
What the hell his legs actually reached this far
 
He quickly writes something and tore the paper to pass it to Amber (that rhymed)
 
I didn't 4get. U dun have 2 remind me!
 
Alright

That and annoying me. Cant u just focus on what you're aiming for?
 
 
"But I am focusing on you" Henry just popped out of nowhere and Amber was *this* close to jumping up
 
"What the hell? Why are you here?"
They were at the same table as yesterday and Henry just sat there beside her without her knowledge. She was too busy texting the guy
 
"You're facing my office. Maybe you're the one following me around" he winks at her
 
DON'T LOSE YOUR COOL. HE MAY BE HANDSOME--
KEEP. YOUR. COOL.
 
"How conceited." She cooly sets her phone aside and drags her open book to her front and starts 'reading'
 
"You're still studying? Why can't you relax?"
 
"Look, if this is you having revenge on me because of what happened back in sixth--"
 
"Ooohhhh you finally remembered!" Henry sarcastically clapped his hands
 
Amber just looks at him, unamused
 
"The is with you? Of course I do. I just did, actually."
 
Why am I having a conversation with this douche?
 
"Anyway, since you're already here, and Soojung hasn't discovered the fact that we're talking now, I shall be leaving. Ciao."
 
Cool. Cool. Stay cool, Amber. Stay cool.
 
Henry was left there, mouth half open.
She left me hanging again
He grimfully thinks

Amber was clutching her chest as she closed her locker door
 
What am I getting nervous for? I can't be intimidated by the guy. Don't get affected! He's no threat, you're better than him.
 
"Yes, swim in more books..." the tomboy mutters to herself in repeat as she starts her journey home.

What do you mean you didn't know? We were schoolmates with him back in elementary! srsly.
 
Reply                                           
Well, i'm sorry if i kinda erased his existence from my memories. the guy was a creeper! he still is, actually!
 
Gonjunim Ddudungie~                 
Yeah, ok. wtvr. i'm so not gonna have this conversation with u. gtg, I have my article to finish
 
Reply                                           
THAT BETTER NOT BE ABOUT HENRY AND ME
 
Gonjunim Ddudungie~                 
Relax, paranoid. it's not. kkkkkk
 
The sky was getting gloomy
 
Ah, life can't get tier than this right? And I had to forget my umbrella.
 
The cheerleaders along with Song Qian were still in the field. Soojung worked overtime and lock herself up in the school publication's office. Jinri and Sunyoung probably home early for their project. Kibum with his fashionista clique, pretending not being friends with the bully. And Amber staring blankly at the hallway. Everyone has umbrellas except her. Would you believe?
 
"Come on, Jackie pick up!" She mutters to the constant ring on her phone
 
"Yo so uhh I'm kinda busy. Leave a voicemail! *beep*"
 
What the hell
 
She finally gives up after the 5th try and decides on walking her way to their house
 
And then it started pouring crazy like those in Korean dramas
Only no one was there to share an umbrella with her.
 
Life better not be playing tricks on me
 
Maybe except
 
"Hey, hop on!"
 
I swear if life is playing some sort of practical joke on me...
 
"Yo, Liu!"
 
I might break a certain secondrate's neck
 
The certain secondrate was driving beside her shouting for her to get in
 
"WHAT DO YOU WANT?" she snaps at him, rainwater dripping at he end of her bangs
 
"Uh... I'm like, offering you a car ride right now? So yeah, you look like a homeless puppy right now." Henry coolly says and Amber swears the last remaining bit of her patience was washed away by the rain
 
"How bout no?" she yells at him and he starts driving away slowly
"Suit yourself"
 
Just then lighting lit up the sky and the tomboy was quick to catch up to Henry's car and banged against the passenger seat window
 
"OKAY OKAY! LET ME IN!"
A/N: eyo wasssuuuup~ Merry Christmas everyone :D 
oh yeah, any suggestions or scenarios you'd like to happen? suggest some xD
brb and Happy Holidays everyone.

Chapter 18: Cutest henber...
Amber ur so amber...
Amber is amber... Just like amber...
Always said the opposite of what she actually felt
But, henry is the best.. He knew her so well... Thats not a problem for him... He knew she didnt mean all the things she said.. She said it all just because she is too shy to admit her real feelings.. XD
